Once a month or so, I'm lucky enough to catch a few minutes with my favorite technology prognosticator, Marshall Kirkpatrick, Director of Content at Splashcast Media. During each visit, Marshall shares with us the tools and tips that no one can live without. This month, Marshall offered up 6 tools that any nonprofit can use today.

Check out this video podcast to learn more about:

• Adium (for Mac) and Trillian (for Windows): Muti-client IM software.
• Twitterific: a desktop application for Twitter
• URLTea: a very useful URL shortener
• Ustream.tv: Live streaming video
• memeorandum: a political discussion agregator
